Chapter 122: A Turning Point
While everyone was talking, the guard walked up to Huang Jiu with a tray in his hand and said, "Niangniang, I found a blackened silver cup on the desk. ”
Huang Jiu raised his eyebrows, and really saw a pitch-black cup on the tray, and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”
The guard bowed his head and refused to speak.
Huang Jiu let out a low sigh: "Say!" ”
"Returning to Niangniang, I found Qi and Princess Qi who were in a hurry to leave at the door, and this cup happened to be placed on Qi and Princess Qi's table. I don't know ......" The guard saw that everyone's faces were wrong, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with a plop: "Niangniang atoned for her sins, the slave is too talkative!" ”
How could Qi and the princess return their own nephews? She is a princess, and she has no reason with any lady in the palace, and she is the identity of the saint of Fengling Country, so naturally she cannot be tarnished at all.
Huang Jiu glanced coldly at the guards who were kneeling on the ground and trembling: "Where are the princesses Qi and the princess?" ”
As he was talking, the voice of Qi and the princess struggling came from behind him: "You let go of this princess!" If you dare to move again, you will not blame Princess Ben for being polite! ”
Qi He was dressed in plain white, and was full of anger and was pulled by two guards all the way, seeing everyone's eyes and the guards kneeling on the ground, he sneered: "The imperial sister-in-law is going to make such a big move, do you have to embarrass Qi He." ”
It seems that Kihe's plan to go out has failed. Ning Ge frowned and thought, her fist clenched in her sleeve, it was clearly nine cold days, and her palms were full of sweat.
It's too big under this net, and it seems that you can't escape it.
Huang Jiu raised his eyebrows, half-squinted his eyes and glanced at Qi He coldly: "What did you say?" ”
Qi He was not afraid of such coldness at all, hooked his lips and sneered: "You have already arranged people outside Kunning Palace, haven't you been preparing for such a thing to happen a long time ago?" ”
Huang Jiu's face became ugly, and he shouted in a low voice: "Don't make trouble!" Now that there is a problem with the prince in Concubine Liu's belly, as an aunt, do you have to stand by and watch? ”
Qi He was startled, glanced at the blood on the ground, and then at Ning Ge, who was standing opposite him, and said in disbelief: "Prince? ”
Ning Ge nodded: "It's the prince." ”
I just don't know if it's the prince or the pretense.
Huang Jiu shouted at Qi He bitterly: "Why do you say you are so confused, you have been cultivating in the Buddha Hall for many years, are the Buddhist scriptures recited in vain?" Why do you cause trouble as soon as you come out? You are the saintess of my Fengling Kingdom, isn't this a sign of self-destruction? ”
Qihe opened his mouth to say something, but after all, he finally glanced at Huang Jiu and then closed his mouth.
Ning Ge suddenly spoke: "Niangniang doesn't need to be harsh on Princess Qi and Princess, Concubine Liu has never toasted to the princess." Niangniang should have seen it clearly on stage, and reprimanding Qi and the princess like this is just asking the concubine to come out and confess her guilt. She paused, suddenly laughed, looked at the kneeling soldier who did not forget to raise the tray in his hand and said: "Niangniang doesn't have to embarrass others, this silver cup is mine." It's just that I didn't poison that glass, and the mother has to be aware of it. ”
Huang Jiu said in disbelief: "It's you?" ”
Concubine Liang raised her eyelids and glanced at Ning Ge, then lowered her head and frowned, and said, "Niangniang, it's better not to take the charge yourself!" ”
Ning Ge shook his head, pointed to the cup on the table and glanced at Qi He: "There are two sets of cups on the table, the cups used by me and Princess Qi are different, Qi and Princess are jade, and I am gold and silver." Thank you Qi and the princess for wanting to help me, and when I left, I exchanged the silver cup with her jade cup, but the table was just a different cup, so that the whole set of cups was not messy. Let alone...... Qi and the princess will not poison and frame themselves. ”
"So, do you admit that you poisoned Concubine Liu?" Concubine Shu sneered, a kind of smugness flashed in her eyes, as if she had grasped a handle that Ning Ge was so big.
Ning Ge smiled: "Concubine Shu smiled." I just don't want you to wronged Qihe, but I don't admit that it was Concubine Liu who I harmed. Although I can't explain where the poison in this cup came from, I believe that the queen mother is the most just, and she will definitely be able to give the concubine justice, right? ”
Ning Ge kicked the ball to Huang Jiu, Huang Jiu turned around and drank back the guards holding Qi He, looked at Ning Ge and said, "Yes or no, it's not that this palace has the final say." ”
As soon as Huang Jiu's words fell, a guard hurriedly ran behind him, and hurriedly knelt down at Huang Jiu's feet and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, this is the paper bag found under Concubine Ning Niangniang's seat." It's been opened and used halfway, please decide. ”
Paper bags?
Ning Ge's eyes were like torches, staring at the sand-colored paper bag in the guard's hand, which was indeed half-opened. It's just that she didn't bring any paper bags when she went out today, obviously planting them later.
Ning Ge secretly annoyed that she didn't think about everything, and only cared about calling Qi He to leave, but she never thought that the yellow finch that caught the mantis was still behind.
Huang Jiu glanced at the things in the guard's hand, and said coldly: "Take it down and ask the imperial doctor to see if it is the poison on Concubine Liu's body." ”
"Yes!"
The guards retreated, and Huang Jiu looked at Ning Ge fiercely: "Concubine Ning, what else do you have to say?" ”
Ning Ge frowned: "The concubine has nothing to say." ”
As he was talking, a maid came running covered in blood, and said anxiously: "Niangniang, go and take a look, Concubine Liu is not good, the prince can no longer survive, the imperial doctor said that Niangniang is also dying, and there is no reaction to taking the antidote, and she has never been awake until now." ”
Huang Jiu frowned, waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”
Ning Ge's heart froze slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, so he could only follow Huang Jiu all the way to the main hall of Kunning Palace.
Concubine Liu was placed on Huang Jiu's phoenix bed, which showed the generosity and thoughtfulness of the queen of the first dynasty, all the concubines were stopped at the door, and only Huang Jiu and the three concubines entered the dormitory.
Ning Ge stood straight, his eyes were dark, looking at the closed door, everyone instinctively moved away from Ning Ge, only Qi He had been standing beside Ning Ge.
Huang San hid in the crowd, holding Gu Lun's hand and sitting on the chair at the back of the crowd, looking at Ning Ge's lonely and straight back through the gap in the crowd, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he quickly pulled away, and took a bowl of tea brought by Gu Lun to cover the smile.
The door squeaked open, Huang Jiu and the three concubines stepped out of the threshold with solemn faces, and Qi He stepped forward and asked, "How?" ”
Huang Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at the anxious Qi and Princess He, then turned his head to look at Ning Ge and said word by word: "It is the five poisons that are scattered, and the five poisons are scattered into the five poisons in the world and ground into foam, and the wine is colorless, but it is one of the most hurtful poisons in the world." Concubine Liu blocked her life this time with a prince, and she barely picked up half a life and came back. It's just that I still don't know if I'll be alive. Concubine Ning, even if you can't see that Concubine Liu is pregnant, you won't use such a method to take people's lives. This deep palace can't tolerate you and other jealous and ruthless kinds. You hurt Concubine Liu and hurt the prince like this, but you killed two birds with one stone, and I originally wanted to blame the palace for the reason for the plum banquet. Your wishful thinking has come to naught. ”
Huang Jiu stared at Ning Ge and raised his voice: "Come on, search the Changge Palace." Escorted Concubine Ning down pending trial. ”
The guards below responded with a "yes" and trotted all the way out of the palace. Two more guards stepped forward to escort Ning Ge.
Ning Ge didn't move, just sneered and looked at Queen Huang Jiu.
After all, she was not thoughtful enough, and she was too eager for revenge.
This kind of thing is too easy to have loopholes, just look at her smug face to know what is going on today.
Is Concubine Liu really willing to sacrifice her life to accompany her?
So why did you remind her when you first entered Kunning Palace?
Concubine Liu still has an inextricable relationship with Gu Lun waiting for her to dig out, and she can't die now, and she can't die. Ning Song is determined.
"Niangniang, until the evidence is complete, don't jump to conclusions. I see that Concubine Ning is not a great evil, don't wronged innocent people. Concubine Liang suddenly spoke.
Ning Ge glanced at Concubine Liang with gratitude in her eyes.
At this time, it is not easy to stand up and help, and it is obvious that Concubine Liang has touched the bottom line of Concubine Shu and Huang Jiu by helping herself speak three times and twice.
This also made Ning Ge clearly realize that Concubine Shu had always stood with Huang Jiu.
She belongs to the Huang family.
Or that he thinks he belongs to the Huang family.
Huang Jiu glanced sideways at Concubine Liang: "Concubine Niangniang, what the concubine said is to be taken under custody pending trial, as long as she is innocent, will the concubine still wronged her?" ”
Concubine Liang frowned and didn't say anything, moved her lips, finally glanced at Ning Ge deeply, and slowly shook her head.
No one understood the meaning of shaking the head, but Ning Ge nodded knowingly.
The guard got the order and boldly stepped forward to arrest Ning Ge, but before he could stretch out his hand, he heard Qi and the princess say sharply: "Stop!" ”
The guards were stunned for a moment, looked at Queen Huang Jiu, and then looked at Qi and Princess who were staring at each other angrily, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they could only look at each other.
"Princess, the emperor has granted the palace the right to govern the six palaces, and the fire in the backyard will inevitably affect the affairs of the emperor's previous dynasty, are you going to embarrass the palace?" Huang Jiu squinted a pair of phoenix eyes and said coldly.
Qi He smiled nonchalantly, took two steps in front of Ning Ge, and said, "The imperial brother once told me recently that the eight treasure clothes on Concubine Ning are only given to heavy people, and the eight treasure clothes are sewn with holy decrees, and no one except the saint can rule and pronounce a sentence, let alone escort?" These eight treasures were available more than ten years ago, and the imperial sister-in-law won't know about it, right? ”
Huang Jiu's face was pale, and he was blue and red when he was white, and he had any color.
"The princess doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, does she still condone the gangsters who murdered the prince?" Concubine Shu interjected.
